GENERAL CARE
CHROME AND METAL PARTS
Wipe chrome parts with a clean, soft cloth at least once a week.
All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or similar products.
If exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner that will scratch the finish.
HAND GRIPS AND UNDERARM PADDING
Use only a clean towel dampened with cool water when cleaning
hand grips and underarm padding. Confirm that the grips are dry
before using. NEVER use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or
soap on hand grips and underarm padding. This may cause the
hand grips and underarm padding to loosen or crack.
RUBBER TIPS
Periodically check the rubber tips for rips, tears, cracks or worn
tread. If any of these conditions are found, contact your health
representative immediately.
